Cordy's XB with Baja 5T Wheels

2/20/2012

I just rec'd this picture from Cordy of his XB with some aluminum HPI Baja 5T wheels. Looks like he's mounted up four rears...is this correct Cordy?

Where in the world are you guys locating such awesome wheels??

I've spent way too much time online, looking for them, and basically all for naught.

Do I need to use The Force, or what?

Check out www.RC4WD.com or eBay
Lots of wheels from China on eBay

I got the bead locks at large scale . com in indiana. The wheels themselves are chrome plastic 5t rears,also from large scale in indiana. Go to hot bodyz . com and you will see the web bead locks. I believe I paid $124 for a set of four.Cheaper than aluminum wheels, and a neat way to dress out your regular wheels. Good luck and have fun!

Cordy, what are you running for shock covers? Are those bicycle tubes or Bad Horsie covers?

Those are 24"x 125 bycle innertubes. ($4.96 at walmart) One tube is enough to do 8 shocks. I got the mod from another site. Use silacone or wd-40 ; spray the inside of your innertube it will make the tube slide on easyer cutting down on any frustration you may encounter.

Yes those are dune reaper rears all the way around for the 5t. Available from ddm.

Good tip.
I used UberRC shock covers on my XBE but I'm going to give the Bad Horsie covers a try for my XB just to compare
